What did you spend your second transfer on?
I spent my second transfer on buying iron sheets that I'm planning to use in building my compound because I'm staying in co-wife's home. I cleared school fee balance for my children and bought school attire for them that were already worn out.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is the big step I have made that has given me a lot of peace because I have already bought ironsheets so I have the hopes of soon having my compound thus I'll feel independent. My children too are now presentable in their new school attire and they also have ample time with their studies.

What did you spend your first transfer on?
I spent a larger portion of my first transfer on paying school fee and used part of it on buying food.
Describe the moment when you received your money. How did you feel?
The moment when I received my money I felt so happy, jumped up and down, put on clean clothes and immediately went to the market to withdraw the money and later bought food because we had nothing to have for our supper on that day. I also knew finally I was taking my child who had been sent for school fee back to school.
